I forgot to take pictures of the complete rifle before starting disassembly but the full length Infantry wood is rough but decent shape with only a missing cleaning rod and a broken middle barrel band retaining spring as it's major issues.
The metal on the other hand is in sad shape.
It was listed as a 52-60 caliber but as there never was such a caliber I will be making a chamber cast as soon as I get it disassembled.
There is no markings on the receiver that I can find other than the batch number on tang and trigger housing.
On the barrel under the rear band is a V over a conjoined HP and the bands themselves have what look to be a B on them.
The rear stock screw and the button screw came loose easily however the action pins will not move even with a little judicious use of a soft face hammer and the screws for the trigger housing will not budge either. (Pictures taken before any disassembly attempts so screws are as received) Next step is to get some penetrating oil and give it a few days soak.
Bore is pretty rough but rifling is still prominent. Bore at the muzzle is roughly .501".
Any information about this project will be greatly appreciated.
